International Renewable Energy Conferences
In view of the indecisive outcomes of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg 2002 with respect to Renewable Energy, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder invited all the stakeholders to come to Bonn in 2004 for an International Renewable Energy Conference. This conference was well prepared in a series of regional conferences and by an international steering committee to become the successful Renewables 2004.

The Bonn Renewables 2004 increased the global political momentum in favour of Renewable Energy. In order to keep the momentum and expand it to developing countries, the Chinese Government agreed to host the Beijing International Renewable Energy Conference in 2005, BIREC 2005, equally successful. In 2008, Washington staged the third global ministerial meeting dedicated to renewable energy, the WIREC 2008.

In the spirit of Bonn, and Beijing, and Washington, the Government of India has announced that it will host the Indian International Renewable Energy Conference in 2010.
